Entrance Test for Ist Graders Is Eliminated
LANESBORO The School Committee voted unanimously to modify the 1st grade entrance policy eliminating entrance testing for children aged 6 between Sept 1 and Nov 1 and allowing those age 6 by Nov 1 to enter without testing. The policy takes effect in 1985. The committee cited questionable readiness tests and pressure on children as reasons. In other business, the committee discussed renting two classrooms to Lanesboro Parents Kindergarten for 1965-66 and left the decision under advisement.
